Don't just acknowledge it your narcissism, embrace it. You can't feel guilty about something if you're proud of it.

Recognizing the ways in which different groups are stupid isn't snobbery, it's having eyes and ears. You can act all high and mighty if you want, but I bet most of your friends fit into at least some kind of broad category that makes them more or less like you, be it class or otherwise.

Ugh so you hate poor people because they don't have the same opportunities as a white boy who still lives with his parents and has everything provided for him? When you start getting off your lazy ass and actually contribute by working, then maybe I'd consider your opinion. :rolleyes:

Like I said, don't hate poor people, just don't much in common with them in general, which limits our conversation choices, and if we can't talk about anything past the weather than what basis is there for any kind of friendship? I don't even think I'm very odd. I think most people are the same, they just don't like saying it. How many friends do you have who have drastically more or less money than you? And if you do is there anything you have in common with them that gives you chemistry that you don't have in common with the rest of the people in their economic class?

So do poor people not have hobbies? Last time I checked they do. I have a best friend who's poor but she works hard even so. Next you will be telling me poor people are lazy. I had a boyfriend years ago who was living under the poverty line, we still had a great time together. It's more insulting to me that you are putting these people in one box, as though they don't have personalities, ambitions or interests. You seem to be defending your point in circles to back track how stereotypical your comment was. I have rich friends too, do you have a problem with rich people? If you can't relate to poor people then as a "middle class" white boy you must have no common ground with them based on what you've indicated.

Cause I obviously wasn't speaking in generalities. I was obviously saying that every last poor person was a carbon copy cookie cut out. You got me.

Sure I've met poor folks who I clicked with. My best friend comes from a poor background, but he's a neurotic, socially awkward nerd, so we're cool. But the ratio of poor nerds (and other kinds of nerds) vs. middle class nerds is disproportionate, hence why the number of my friends who are middle class is also disproportionate.

No, I've explained my point many times. People just like to go off half-cocked when they see a controversial statement cause it's easier than actually considering what the person is actually trying to say. It's why trolls work and it's why politicians have to read off of a script.

Honestly I've never really known any rich people that I can think of so I wouldn't know.

Ew, I'm glad I have a concrete reason to dislike you other than your ****e sense of humour now.

Nah, not at all.

Maybe some painfully awkward middle-class nerds might feel similar, but most people would just think you're a ****.

The Batlord 06-12-2014 12:36 PM

Well, I think I've explained myself about fifty million times, so I don't really see the point anymore, but feel free to keep being intellectually lazy, self-righteous pricks in my absence.
